Getting Familiar With Your Local Strains

Before one decides to consume cannabis, its beneficial he/she knows what they may be getting into. There are hundreds of different strains that, to the casual consumer, might all seem the same. To an avid pot smoker, though, one slight detail could make all the difference. It’s important to know what makes certain strains more potent than others, and what features are important to look at. Let’s discover some local strains and find out what to expect from them.

Blue Dream

Primarily a sativa (the giggly, energetic kind of bud), but has some indica roots

Will leave you feeling positive and euphoric.

Scent is distinguishable and fruity, while its leaves are coated in orange hairs.

Known for being more of a “day-time flower” to smoke

Can be found at Infinite Wellness Center and Organic Alternatives in Fort Collins

Rubicon

A hybrid strain, containing mainly CBD (meant for relieving pain).

Will leave you feeling relaxed and pain-free

Has an earthy-type scent

Recommended for those who don’t smoke often and want a mild body buzz

Can be found at The Green Solution

Jillybean

I spoke with Max Poling, Marketing Manager at Infinite Wellness. He says Jillybean is one of their most commonly recommended strains for the occasional smoker.

It has a “citrusy, fruity smell to it,” which is where it gets its name.

Poling says it’s not going to give you the typical euphoric high, it’s going to be a bit more balanced.
